It is one of the iron laws of electric guitar that says Fender Japan always gets the coolest stuff, and even if that’s not going to change anytime soon as the Big F’s Japanese division continues to swing for the fences with creative designs, it does look like other territories will be able to get in on the action too as the MIJ Hybrid II Stratocaster series debuts former Japan exclusives for markets in the UK and Europe.
The MIJ Hybrid II series comprises limited run Fender Stratocasters, competitively priced from £1,299 / €1,499. Whoe knows how long they will stick around for, but they really are stunning, pairing breath-taking new finishes that remain perfectly on-brand for Fender, while introducing new pickups voiced for the series. This is definitely a case of get ‘em while they’re hot.
